Northern weather

Last year i gave my 3 year old daughter a bag of oranges. Individually wrapped. Plus some of her old toys wrapped up. She thought Santa was the best. I wonder if i can get away with that this year. Maybe i'll add a cluster of broccoli and some socks.

Try a stuffed animal.......my daughter of 26 still has several stuff elephant toys.

Could be a harsh winter for squirrels. Remember when i said " i lost my apple blossoms from a late snow". I wonder if that played games with these nuts? My oak tree had hardly any acorns. As you can see what showed up was really small. Same with the chestnut trees.

Not down here - the 2 oaks out back are dropping more acorns than ever and they good sized - can hear them hit the deck.

Loaded with hickory nuts this year, too.

No chestnuts.......

But my apple tree in Pa is loaded with apples this year for the 1st time in several years. The deer will clear that up.

The deer here love the acorns, too...

the acorns should be the size of those chestnuts. Usually a chestnut has 2-3 nuts that make up something the size of a golf ball. This year one round nut per burr and small.

Scrawny......

Well, either feed the squirrels or eat them, or do both,

How were you able to get away with that (if I may inquire) ?
I wonder if I should consider your approach this Halloween, as it regards giving oranges, broccoli , and socks.

[robert.]

Don't give out oranges on Halloween. Everyone of them will come back trough your living room window. . My daughter was so happy to see a large bag of wrapped up things. She could have cared less if they were oranges. she loves broccoli, and Brussel sprouts. On hot days i give her a bowl of frozen corn kernels. she'll ask for it.Family doctor cant believe it. Doctor says " stick with it and be glad" Our local flea market has a produce guy. When he sees her walking by he'll toss her a head of broccoli and watch her munch it down. Then he shouts "ladies and gentlemen broccoli so sweet your kids will love" After a crowd builds he gives her a few oranges and away we go.
She thinks that the Easter bunny leaves socks in plastic colored eggs. I hide them in our yard and she runs trying to find them. I never told there should be candy in those eggs. I guess her school mates will tell her.

Here she is eating a pepper

Apparently , Robert, you have a magic touch. What you have related , and that photo of her , are pure gold. I doff my hat to you and bow out of respect in your direction, sir! BRAVO! Very well done! Flawless.

She's not all angel. Every night is a fight to get her to bed

She's probably afraid she'll be missing something, given the nutrition-nourished mind she's developing, huh.

Surprise her and in just 1 egg, put a Hersey kiss in it....,,,,,and use you imagination from there explaining it to her why.

Brussels Sprouts? Really! Clearly she is not possessed of the anti-brussels sprouts gene,

Have you tried reading to her?

She may ask why you're feeding her junk food. I would.
